ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNING!

The coaxial cable that connects the dome unit to the tuner carries a

24 volt electrical current.  Exercise extreme caution when handling

this cable.  Do not cut, break, or splice this line.  Do not insert or

connect any devices such as splitters or any other device for any

reason.  This line is not compatible with any other equipment.

Damage will occur to any device other than the dome unit if

connected to the antenna port on the tuner.
